ReplyDelete3 Young Mister Lincoln
13 The Informer
Thanks for a great start, Thomas! #1 and #13 are correct. That's a logical guess for #3, but it's a different movie.
DeleteThese are complete guesses:
ReplyDelete2. The Quiet Man
10. Fort Apache
11. My Darling Clementine
They're all correct guesses!
Delete6. Donovan's Reef
ReplyDeleteI've always liked Donovan's Reef. The cast seems to be having fun.
DeleteTotally! Lee Marvin steals all his scenes. This is one of my favorite "Christmas" movies.
Delete3. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, Hal!
DeleteHere's my two cents...er, quotes:
ReplyDelete5. Stagecoach
9. Mister Roberts
Great job, Al! The Mister Roberts quote is one of my faves.
Delete8 The Last Hurrah
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed. A fine movie not shown enough.
DeleteStill need answers for: 4, 7, 12, 14, and 15.
ReplyDelete7. The Searchers
ReplyDelete14. Cheyenne Autumn
Well done, Patrick!
DeleteLooking for answers to 4, 12, and 15!
ReplyDelete4. Grapes of Wrath
ReplyDelete12. Mogambo
Thanks, Ron! That just leaves #12.
DeleteWell, I've got one guess to go, so I'll close the game out:
ReplyDelete15. Wee Willie Winkie
Fun Fact: Although Ford didn't relish the idea of working with child star Shirley Temple, the two bonded (working together again on "Fort Apache"), and he was godfather to Shirley's first child, Susan Agar.
Al, thanks for closing out the game and for the great trivia on John Ford and Shirley Temple! I think Winkie is one of Shirley's best films
